Who Let the Jews Out?

Pharoah did!  But then he changed his mind.

Pharoah did!  But then he changed his mind ( x 7 more times)

Yeah, he changed his mind a total of TEN times!

The last we spoke, Yocheved had given her baby Moses to the river, Nile and Moses found himself taken in by Pharoah’s sister: princess of Egypt.  Moses grew up with all the privileges of an Egyptian: wealth, power, prestige.  But, when he finally learned of his Hebrew heritage, he could not help but feel a loyalty to his people. In fact, when an Egyptian was beating a Hebrew slave, Moses intervened and killed the Egyptian.

He fled to the desert.  There, he met his (soon to be) wife, Tzipporah.

After many years of living with her and raising children, God spoke to Moses.  He spoke to Moses through a burning (yet NOT consumed) desert bush: he must help free the Hebrew slaves.  He must go tell Pharoah to “let his people go.”

After TEN plagues…Pharoah let the Hebrews go.

But…he changed his mind AGAIN!

He said to himself, “Who Let the Jews Out?”

Enjoy the smile.  🙂

Schlepping is Yiddish (German/Hebrew) to mean: to move reluctantly and with great effort
